Going to spend crunching these last few hours to bust out the last bits of art. Here are some animation previews.

Working with the Sea Dads to make this :D

So this was my first Ludum Dare, and it actually blew my mind away how fun it is, and how cool the community is. I'm normally a solo dev but my jam is art, so it was awesome to be able to focus on that 100%

Here are some gifs from the game. Also here is a link if you would like to play, I super look forward to now relaxing and checking everyones game out! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/bum-bag-bangin

For the artsyle for our game BUM BAG BANGIN I wanted to develop on a style that I've played around before just visually.

I really loved this art style and pitched it to the team of something I'd like to do. But after some discussion it would be a bit of a nightmare to do gameplay in an isometric perspective. So someone suggested the Pokemon type perspective so I smashed out this drawing.

Then eventually developed it to this once we decided thats what we were going for.

This style was definitely outside of my comfort zone as its a little more difficult to make it feel like it has depth.

Eventually it came together to look like this,

Our coder set it up with 2.5d which made it feel a little more dynamic and gave it some more depth. I wish we had some more time to play with it, but I was definitely chuffed to see it in-game in all its glory. I'd definitely like to try this style in a more RPG type game.

Check out the game if you want to give it a whirl. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/bum-bag-bangin
